JACKSONVILLE – Senior U.S. District Judge Brian J. Davis sentenced Rohan Conrad Campbell, 50, of Jamaica, to four years and six months in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The court also ordered Campbell to forfeit $4,207, which represents the proceeds of his offenses, and pay restitution of $80,208.08 to the victims he defrauded. Campbell entered a guilty plea on Dec. 13, 2023.
According to the plea agreement and public records, on Aug. 5, 2017, Campbell entered a cellphone store in Clay County, used a fraudulently established account and a counterfeit Washington state driver’s license in the name of a victim, and obtained multiple cellphones. On Aug. 15, 2017, Campbell visited another cellphone store in Clay County to collect cellphones he had fraudulently ordered using another victim’s identity. A store employee recognized Campbell and called the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. Upon arriving and contacting Campbell, Campbell provided a deputy with a counterfeit Washington state driver’s license in the identity of a third victim. As a deputy talked with him, Campbell attempted to flee but was apprehended. Further investigation by the CCSO and the U.S. Secret Service determined that Campbell had set up numerous fraudulent accounts using counterfeit identification documents in the identity of 10 different victims. He obtained thousands of dollars of cellphones from multiple stores in Florida.
Campbell was arrested on May 31, 2018.
After being released under pre-trial supervision, he fled the jurisdiction in August 2019, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Campbell remained a fugitive for more than three years until law enforcement in Florida arrested him in early 2023.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Secret Service – Jacksonville Field Office investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin C. Frein prosecuted it. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer M. Harrington handled the asset forfeiture.
